Troy,

You can post 1024 wide here, 800 high. Nice looking pano of this sunset. Good idea limiting the FG mountain. I would attempt to lighten the left side some so as it draws the eye too much now.

Troy, Robert's suggestion was a good one. No distractions now in that wonderful fiery sky. Good job on the pano comp.

Hi Troy, the pano crop works well here. Just enough of the silhouetted base along with a dramatic sky. I feel the repost is an improvement!

Hey Troy,
repost took it up another notch and the pano fits the scene well. I do wonder if you can pull out more detail in the sky/ Any depth you can pull out in it will only strengthen this further. New Mexico has some great sunsets!

Roman, any tips on pulling more out more details in the sky? Any helps would be appreciated.
